Post-doctorates are invited to step away from their usual working environment and immerse themselves in developing commercial skills and business acumen, through focused Fellowship programmes funded by the Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA).
Commencing in May 2025, Fellowships are open to ECRs with a contract of employment with the University of Southampton, working in a discipline that falls within the relevant funder remit. During the Fellowship, you will partner with experts from Research and Innovation Services (RIS) to maximise the opportunity for you to develop your networks and learn what it really takes to turn outputs and outcomes of research into innovations.
You will also get the opportunity to share your newfound expertise with fellow ECRs and the funder community through coordinating and facilitating talks and workshops specifically around collaborating with businesses and commercialisation. You will work on projects and develop solutions to improve how the University supports our researcher community to collaborate with business, commercialise its intellectual property and increase our enterprise activities.
For more information and how to apply, go to IAA Fellowships. Applications close on 23 January 2025. We encourage you to contact the Impact Acceleration Accounts team to discuss the opportunities available.
